  • How Will AI Reshape the World?

    How Will AI Reshape the World?
    Oct 2 2026
    Artificial intelligence is developing at extraordinary speed, transforming the way we work, learn and communicate—and increasingly shaping politics, security and international relations. But as its capabilities grow, so too do questions about its risks, its opportunities and how it should be governed. So how worried should we be about AI? Where could it have the greatest positive impact? How might it reshape international affairs and the global balance of power? And can governments and international organisations keep pace with a technology that is evolving so rapidly? These are some of the questions we’ll explore in this episode of What Matters Today. Our guest is Jérôme Duberry, a Senior Lecturer in International and Development Studies and Head of the Tech Hub at the Geneva Graduate Institute. He also serves as Academic Advisor for the Executive Diploma in Diplomacy, Negotiation and Policy, and as a Research Fellow at the Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy.

  • Ebola: Why Are We Still Struggling to Stop It?

    Ebola: Why Are We Still Struggling to Stop It?
    Sep 15 2026
    The Democratic Republic of the Congo is facing its 17th Ebola outbreak, once again putting communities and health systems under immense pressure. But this latest outbreak is unfolding in an especially challenging context — amid conflict and displacement, persistent mistrust of health authorities, and with a strain of the virus for which there is no specifically licensed vaccine. More than a decade after the devastating West African Ebola epidemic, how much better prepared are we to respond? And what does the continuing struggle to contain Ebola tell us about global health priorities, inequalities and the importance of investing in resilient health systems? Our guest for this episode is Vinh-Kim Nguyen, Director of Global Health specialisation of the MINT programme, and Professor of Anthropology and Sociology here at the Geneva Graduate Institute

  • Beyond the Ceasefire: Iran, the United States, and a Changing Middle East

    Beyond the Ceasefire: Iran, the United States, and a Changing Middle East
    Jun 29 2026
    The recent confrontation between Iran, the United States, and Israel has once again placed the Middle East at the centre of global attention. While a fragile ceasefire may have eased immediate tensions, fundamental questions remain about the future of the region, the balance of power, and the risk of further escalation. In this episode, we take a step back to examine the historical roots of the Iran–US rivalry, explore how the nature of conflict in the Middle East is evolving, assess the role of regional actors, and discuss what the latest developments mean for Iran, its people, and the broader geopolitical landscape. Our guest for this episode is Cyrus Schayegh, Professor of International History and Politics at the Institute and Chair of the department.
